Getting Frustrated Here!!!

[Guest]

Ok, I went to Circuit City today and picked up a couple things. I got a new wireless keyboard and mouse (nothing like being able to kick back in a recliner and type, aahh) plus a new microSD card for my phone.

It is a 2gb card, and I have been putting songs on it. I get up to about 650mb on it and I get a "Disc is full" message. When I go into the card, I see there is still 1.24 gb free on it.

Anyone know what would cause this and a way to correct it? It is really starting ot annoy me.

you may need to format it? Also seems like it is thinking it is a CD 650 if memory serves right is the limit on most cd's

I agree format it

 

[Guest]

formatted it and is still doing the same thing

hmmm is this only in the phone or in your computer?

I know some phones will actually limit how much will be read or IF it will be read at all, especially anything over 500 megs.

Are we sure the phone can recognize 1Gb and 2Gb cards?

Its not in the phone, I am using just a standard card reader and windows explorer. Simple drag and drop from the music library onto the card. The one gig card works fin, but the 2 gig is showing full after about 600 mb.

The problem may be all about your File Allocation Table, commonly known as FAT. When you reformatted the card did you select FAT 32? If not, try that and let us know what you get.

Also you may want to use just FAT not FAT32 as some phones even new are still using the old FAT file format...

plus just format it with the PHONE first not the computer as even that is different...
